These days you can buy produce any time of the year. But even though it’s on your grocery store shelves, it doesn’t mean it’s fresh and bursting with nutrition.

You see, a lot of produce is shipped in from other parts of the world. That means they have to be harvested early – before they’re ripe!

This affects both the taste and the nutritional value of these foods.

Often times they are irradiated to delay ripening.

And while this reduces things like bacteria, fungus and parasites, it also zaps certain nutrients right out of otherwise healthy foods. These nutrients include vitamins A, C, D, E, K and many of the B vitamins.

MD Exposes the Hidden Danger to Your Eyes

When your eyesight starts to fail, it's a real problem. Suddenly you can't go to the grocery store... you can't get to the doctor if you have an emergency... you can't meet your friends for dinner…

Your "regular" doctor doesn't have time to keep up with the latest research. And the same goes for eye doctors. They go to school to learn how to fit you for glasses and contacts, but have no way of preventing the damage and loss of eyesight that threatens your freedom and independence.

Let me show you something that explains a LOT about how your eyes work.

In my FREE Special Report, I'll show you a HUGE, untapped resource for your eyes that safely and naturally restores clear, effortless eyesight.

Irradiation also produces something called “radiolytic byproducts.” Some of these chemicals, like formaldehyde and benzene can increase your risk of cancer.

And that’s not the worst of it. You have to pay a hefty price for purchasing these flavorless, nutrient-deficient and chemically enhanced fruits and vegetables.

You’re much better off eating seasonal produce than settling for a pricier and much more inferior product.

And there are plenty of healthy, delicious choices for the winter months. Let me show you which ones I recommend…

Although many people don’t realize it, Citrus fruits are at their peak during these winter months. The cold makes them sweeter and juicier than at any other time of the year. Some of the citrus fruits you may enjoy include grapefruit, oranges, kiwi, tangerines and mandarins.

When people think of citrus fruits, their first thought is the vitamin C content. And it’s true. These fruits are a great source of vitamin C.

But the real power comes in their flavonoid content.

Flavonoids are a type of antioxidant that works in many ways to improve your health. They’ve been shown to lower cholesterol and triglycerides. They improve insulin response, help control blood pressure and slow inflammatory response.

Dark green leafy vegetables are an excellent addition to wintertime meals. And the great thing about them is there are so many to choose from. You can try broccoli, spinach, chard, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, lettuces, mustard greens and many others. Each has a unique flavor, so you don’t feel like you’re eating the “same thing” day after day.

The World's Quickest Solution for

Better yet, they are brimming with nutrients that protect you against all sorts of chronic disease. Not only do studies show proof of their protective qualities, but the USDA admits these veggies have powerful health properties. They can fight inflammation, protect your bones, decrease risk of heart disease, improve diabetes and lower the risk of certain types of cancer.

Winter squash is also a good bet when it comes to fresh winter food choices. And there are many varieties to choose from. You’ve got butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash and more. Even pumpkin – typically not lumped in the squash family – is a squash.

I know. Their shapes and hard-skinned exteriors can make squash look a bit intimidating. But they are filled with tasty “meat” that’s high in vitamin A, fiber and vitamin C.

I suggest giving them a try. Some people mash them up like you would potatoes. I personally like cubing them up and adding them to soups and stews. Just don’t let their odd shapes and colors keep you from trying them out.

These are all great choices for winter meals. But wait until you see this…

There are many other seasonal foods that can fill you up and benefit your health during the winter months. Pomegranates, cranberries, pears, carrots, turnips, avocados, artichokes, sweet potatoes and even that weird-looking thing called a rutabaga all are at their peak during the winter.

You can use them to make a three-course meal or just toss a bunch of them together for a heart wintertime soup.

Here’s some ways to fill a meal with these delights:

Starter: Add a little tartness to a mixed green salad by topping it with fresh cranberries. You can also slice up some avocado. Then sprinkle on a handful of nuts and drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Entrée: Steam or broil your favorite fish. Serve it up with blanched broccoli or steamed spinach and add a sweet potato, turnip or winter squash mash.

Desert: Make up a nice citrus salad to finish off the meal. Just toss some oranges, grapefruit and kiwi into a bowl. For added flavor, you can top with coconut or your favorite nuts.

And that’s just one suggestion. Play around and find out which choices you like.

And remember! When choosing your fruits and vegetables, don’t forget to buy organic.
